“By being selected as one of Washington County’s Best Places to Work, Newton Consulting has demonstrated that it focuses on empowering its employees to better serve their clients. This has resulted in a commitment to customer service and strong business growth,” said Jeff Kotula, president of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce. “We are fortunate that Newton Consulting calls Washington County home.”

Washington County, located in southwestern Pennsylvania, had the third highest percentage increase of employment of all counties in the United States in the last year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The Washington County Chamber of Commerce represents over 1,000 businesses with 23,000 employees.

The list, presented by the Pittsburgh Business Times, honors organizations in the greater Pittsburgh region that deliver an outstanding work experience. The company also received this award in 2010.

“Of all the honors we have received, being named a best place to work is the most meaningful to me,” said Rick Newton, the company’s founder and president. “We intentionally endeavor to create a culture that enables work-family balance while providing a superior benefits package and pay-for-performance compensation model that enables us to attract and retain some of the best consultants in the industry. It is one of my greatest satisfactions to see that a company like this can not only survive, but thrive in the marketplace.”

Newton Consulting, founded in 2003, currently has 62 employees serving clients across North America and Europe. Several employees offered their thoughts in support of the company being named a best place to work.

“Newton Consulting truly is a great place to work,” said Amylyn Kyler, director of talent acquisition services. “Rick Newton is a leader who models the company’s values of integrity, customer service, ownership, excellence, servant leadership and charity. He has worked hard to build a culture that attracts people aligned with these same values, and to be quite honest, I have never represented a company that I believe in more than Newton Consulting.”

“As a consulting veteran of 25 years, I want to work for a company that allows me to balance family and work as effortlessly as possible,” said Rob Andersen, project manager and senior business analyst. “This means minimizing internal bureaucracy, allowing my effort to be translated directly to our customer, while working with a team that honors commitment to family. Newton Consulting brings those attributes together with an extremely talented group of colleagues to make this a great place to work.”

Dave Andrews, vice president of client service and ERP, explained his reasons for joining Newton Consulting after working as an executive at a global firm for 23 years. “I joined Newton Consulting for its track record of high customer service, the opportunity to pursue my entrepreneurial spirit while having the support of top-notch leaders and infrastructure, and for work-family balance,” he said. “At Newton, these aren’t just policies on paper. They live it.”
